GM's Thread About Everything/GM's Thread About Nothing

[Bob Sacamano 10,009]

@Notorious T.R.E. had a jimtan post with a bunch of info on Providenciales, but that was apparently in the old GMTAN.  These days those posts can only be found on the dark web, in the places where they sell SLB's social security number and pieces of GM's vas deferens as an aphrodisiac.

We went several places with really good food, and I had no real complaints about the service.  They're definitely on island time, but nothing awful. 

We had fun.  It was a cheap trip for us, so it was completely worth it.  For a full price trip there, I'd probably try lots of places I've never been before I'd go back.  We're headed to USVI later this year.  Curious to see how it compares.

let me know if you want any tips on st john.  my sister has lived there for years.  i used to go all the time.  there was a thread, that seems to have been purged.

We've been to a bunch of places up and down the Caribbean. Anguilla is our favorite... got married there and used to go at least once a year. We had it dialed into a relatively cheap vacation, but airfare has gone way up as has child count.

Usvi... Big fan of jost van dyke.

If you ever decide to leave teaching, I would hire you as a lead man, in a heartbeat.

 

However, huffing on the job is only allowed if you can prove that you can handle it...

"Leed" or "led"?  This could be important...

Difference between bossing around the chips and eating them.

Lead...

...nobody on my crew wants to handle that toxic crap anymore.

 

And, since Tanner is already brain damaged...

...well...

...what is there to lose?

 

Seem like a win/win for all.

Does anyone have ideas for how a tree could encounter an unfortunate "accident"?  I'm a tree hugger and all, but I have a nemesis tree that needs to die.

Buy the house/property that it is on...and then do as you please!

 

 

Seriously, I have heard that a copper nail (or a couple) driven into the trunk works. (Do some google research).

 

But, if you check out my Sentient Plants thread...you will realize that you should prolly anesthetize it first...and then say a few words of respect...even if it is eval!!!

Burn it

Or

Poison it (pellets. You can buy) when the rainy season starts

Or

Take a hand saw or chainsaw and cut into tree about 1 inch deep all the way around the trunk. This cuts the transfer of food from the roots to the leaves.

Have you tried sitting down and talking to the tree to see if you can come to a mutually beneficial agreement?

Thanks!  Will put to good use.  Got lots of info from JTG as well.  I think one of the few things we're down to at this point is figuring out which place we want to use for a sportfishing charter.

unemployment in NYC maxes out at 400/week. not exactly enough to cover much of anything here.

I feel pretty confident about this one, especially since George R.R. Martin is an older guy and doesn't look incredibly healthy.

Yes...looking and networking with former clients and partners from the last 15 months.   Casually looking at jobs in traditional industries too.  Looks like I can get between 600 and 700 per week.

looking at 5-6k in unexpected medical bills.  

aaaaaaaand.......apparently, i only have 1 kidney.   may have only had 1 all my life.   good thing i haven't done anything to excess or pushed my physical limits at everything i've ever done.    i need to drop at least 2k in more tests to find out more.  so far, i'm considering to just let it roll.   

 

oh..my wife is awaiting biopsy results as well.  so there's that.

in my initial ultrasound imaging, they couldn't find my left kidney.  words like dystrophic, renal cysts, etc were bandied about.  the recommendation is to do further imaging, CT first, possible MRI later, to confirm the lack of said kidney or the possibility that i have some weird runt kidney floating around.   the two scenarios are that i was born with only one(most likely) or that one withered and died for some reason (not very likely)
